But where a developer's needs are simple enough, I suspect that's also when they are going to want to use an iostreams-based interface. Since iostreams basically enforce synchronous operation, this seems like a sensible place to hide the demuxer and asynchronicity away.

As I mentioned in my review, I think casual client-side development will benefit greatly from a simple Iostreams-based interface. The stream_socket implementation in the examples/iostreams directory (or something like it) might end up being the most used interfaces in asio if you provide it. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
